Open in new tab

[Dodge]

Hi all,

Do you think that in the future there will be a target attribute for opening a link in a new tab - ala Firefox?

I know that the target_"blank" is irritating to some folks because of the intrusion of a new, and sometimes unexpected, window. But, to me, a new tab (especially if you have it set to open in the background) would not be so rude. Does anyone agree with that? I know that some proponents of the "_blank" tag would argue that they don't wnat their visitors to "leave" site for an external link... this would be a nice alternative. ;)

So I'm wondering if we might see this in the future as an available tag - like target="_tab".

Thanks
Dodge

Well, if [CSS3hyperlinks] gets anywherem then yes, you might see it. Howewever, the choice between tabs and windows is currently a user choice, and the _blank target is used for the one the user has chosen.
